"An increasing number of schools are now introducing iPads but there is a distinct lack of content for this age group and a real demand.
"The funding has helped me get the stories illustrated and is enabling me to work with Chaos Trend, who have all the necessary skills to create something very inspiring and exciting for youngsters."
Business Minister Edwina Hart said she was delighted the fund was supporting the development of interactive digital educational aids with international potential.
She said it underlies the spirit of enterprise in Wales.
